The Plaza de Toros de León will host a charity equestrian show
The Plaza de Toros de León will be the scene of this Saturday, starting at 20:00, an equestrian show that aims to raise funds for the operation in Indonesia of a young woman from Leon who suffered a spinal cord injury while riding . The event was presented at the Espacio Yvium, of the Proconsi Foundation, and will feature the leading European experts in equestrian dressage, as well as Paco Martos and Miron Bococi as headliners.
All this to raise money for the operation of Estefanía Trobajo, a young woman from Leon who suffered a spinal cord injury while riding. She spent ten months in the National Paraplegic Hospital of Toledo before starting to live in a wheelchair.
The mayor of León, José Antonio Diez, attended the presentation of an event with a “great symbolic charge for the people of Leon. We are very sympathetic and sensitive to the problems of others. You will have our full support,” said the mayor.
The young woman from Leon told her story after the accident, in which she found herself “lost”, which she wants to prevent other people from experiencing the same situation. “We have to make noise, make war, movement is needed to give visibility and arrive at a solution,” commented Estefanía.
The solution to your problem does not exist in our country. Yes, there is a promising treatment in Thailand, where an operation involving the implantation of an epidural stimulator is performed and has given great results. The handicap of this is the high cost, 150,000 euros, for which Estefanía seeks funds.
